This is too funny.

You've listed the 17 and 25mm f1.8 lenses, but from Panasonic we also have two versions of the 20mm f1.7, a 25mm f1.4, a 15mm f1.7.  Not to mention Olympus 17mm f2.8 and Sigma 19mm f2.8 lenses. ...

It's not the "ultimate still camera" any more than an fz1000 is the ultimate video camera.

You can't murder someone for breaking the law.

If anything "takes America down", it will be the endless debt from the Middle East conflicts and the many, many terrorist groups that the power vacuum and anarchy has created.   We have Dick to ...

I only wish that Dick Cheney had the same amount of government leadership tenure that I do.

You are absolutely right.  No American has had sex in over 100 years.

You still seem rather odd.  Keep working at that even thing.

I think it would be helpful for everyone if you were partially sedated, so yes, I agree.  Helpful for me AND society.

I disagree with the premise that this is a device that is designed to stills and video equally well. It is a video camera designed to do decent stills. Just like the FZ1000 and RX10 are stills...

I might suggest a therapy session and some meds.

I'm speechless!!

(and not in a good way)

Off site backup methods are quite valuable in the case of a theft or disaster. It is impractical to do nightly backups to local drives and rotate them off site for a home user. Using a cloud based ...

All of those are worse options than just picking up a good Tamron or Sigma 17-50 f2.8 zoom.

I'd like to spend at least a month on every continent (although I doubt if I can convince the Mrs to hit Antarctica).  I'm hoping I can maybe take a year off in my late 40s - early 50s to do that. ...

Some definitely do not care. I've encountered rude people throughout each of the few decades I've been alive.   I don't think it is new.  All I can do is control myself and try to teach my kids to ...

Just get an RX10

I clicked it.

I've never owned a Nikon, nor do I have a bias toward it.

At F9, you are into diffraction territory with plenty of light.  The 40-150 pro would not have been noticeably sharper.    I'd pick a 75-300 for birding anyway.
